Leafy Green Thank You

Hello Crafty Friends! Today, I am sharing a peek at a leaves stamp from an upcoming new Magenta collection.

I started with a 6" x 6" piece of Strathmore Bristol. Using a MISTI stamp repositioning tool is key for the watercolour stamping technique that I used here which consists of loading the stamp with ink, spritzing it with a fine mist, stamping it, painting it with a brush by moving the ink around, and then reloading and re-stamp to crisp up the image. I started with Tim Holtz Twisted Citron Distress ink. Next, I used Mowed lawn. Then, Rustic Wilderness  and lastly, Pine Needles. For the Thank You sentiment, I clear heat emboss stamped it onto vellum and then ran it through the laminator with gold foil. I fussy cut it leaving a vellum outline and used clear foam tape to pop it up.
